aTHE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE"
MIXTURE Of Blue Ribbons, Sentiment
Poetry and Broken Resolutions

From ne Nee Orleans T'n,cs-Danoero'.
Just at this time of the year a girl
whom I know very well is about to begin
her voyage of life, as she terms 1t IN her
valedictory. She is the sweet girl grad
nate. She has sent off to all the John
Thomases of her acquaintance scented
little notes of invitation to attend the
commencement exercises at the Seminary.
She is very pretty if somewhat crude
and wears banged hair and many white
ribbons. Her gown Is white with
sweeping trail It is to her like taste
of bridal fnery. She IS in hutter, and
supposes that this Is the great trying or
deal of her life. She carries her diploma
as young queen might carry her wand
of Office. Her valedictory is tied with
blue ribbons, and there is a good deal OF
sentiment and poetry in 1t. She talks
about the stormy sea of life; about hope
the light that was never on land or sea,
and she Is smothcred in flowers when she
make her pretty bow of retirement She
has already gone through the inevitable
ceremonial of VOW taking with her school
chum. They are % write to each other
every day. They are to keep each di-
ary AID exchange them at the end Of the
year. They ware tohaveno secrets from each
other. They swear never to marry, but
after a time when they have been out IN
society long enough, they Will meet some
where, rent house or flat together and
live inseparablc for the rest Of their NOR
tai hves-thc one devoting herself to
china painting, the other 10 Kensington
embroidery or wood carving. We have
all heard her rave over her bosom friend,
Alice Maud, the animated repository of
all her secrets. Six months 90 by. We
meet Agnes OF Ethel as the case may be-,
and inquire after the bosom friend. She
draws up her slender body and her eyes
look daggers that John Thomas wishes
were buried in his heart, SO sweet if yet
so sharp are they. "If YOU mean Miss
Smith" says she, Il know nothing Of her.
/ decline to know anything about her.
She came to my house and firted SO
shamefully with Mr. Brown that he has
never been back since. l shall cut her
the next time I see her, the hateful old
thing"

DURATION OF LIFE.
The Stage to Which Manhood Has at Pres.
ent Attained.

Compared with the period 1S3S-1s55
(the earliest for which there are trust
worthy records), the average Of a
mans life is now 4l.9 years, instead of
1919, and of woman's 45.3, instead of
N.9 ycars-an addition of per cent.
to the female life and 5 per cent. to the
males. OF each thousand male born
of the present day, "A more will attain
the age of So than used to be the case
previous to 1871. For the whole of life
the estimate now is that Of 1000 per.
sons (one-half males and one-half fe-
males) 35 survive at the age of forty
five, 26 at fifty-iive, 8 at sixty-five, 8 at
seventy-iive, and one at cighty-five.
TO put the case in another way, every
thousand persons born since IS7O will
live about 2,700 years longer than be-
fore. In other words. the life OF a
thousand persons is now equal in dura.
ton to that of l,070 persons previously;
and 1000 births will now keep up the
growth of our population as we'll as
1910 births used to do. This is equiv.
aient in result to an increase Of
our population. and in the best
form, viz: not by more births,
hat by fewer deaths, which means
fewer maladies and better health.
What is more nearly seventy per cent.
Of this increase of life takes place (or
Is lived) in the "useful period, :"
namely, between the ages of twenty
AID sixty. Thus Of the 2,7Q0 addi-
tIunal years lived by each thousand Of
Our population. seventy per cent. Of
1890 years will be direct addition to
the working power Of our people. 1t
is TO be remembered that there might
be a great addition To the births in Il
country with little addition to the ma
tional working powcr-nay, with act.
ual reduction Of the national wealtl,
and prosperity-seeing that. regarded
As .'economic agents." children are
simply source of expense; and so also
are majority of the elderly who have
passed the age of threc-score. On the
other hand, as already said, only one.
quarter of the longer or additional life
now enjoyed by our people is passed In
the useless periods Of childhood and
old age, and more than onc-third of II
is lived at ages when life is in its high
est vigor and most productive alike Of
wealth and enjoyment Co,sstiU Nag

Her Husband Made q Mistake,

An elderly married woman in By
field, who possesses property in her
own right. says the Newburyport
Herald. had frequently expressed a
desire to make gift to the church
with which she is connected. Accord
ingly, when the society determined on
repairing and remodeling the meet
ing-house, the minister, a. chsirman
Of the soliciting committee, called on
her for . contribution and was pre-
sented with check for fite hundred
dollars. The clergyman went home
highly elated, but was taken aback
the next day when the lady's husband
and son called tc protest against her
munifcence. They declared that she
had not been in her right mind for q
long time, and didn't know what she
was doing when she yielded to the un-
due influence brought to bear upon
her. Though the minister knew that
she was as sane % her husband, to say
the least, he sent back the money.
The husband recently sold tract Of
land. The deed was duly drawn,
signed and sealed by the grantor, who
passed it to his wife to sign for the re-
linquisment ot dover, but to his aston
ishment she rcmarked: mo, am not

man has the land still on his hands
instead of the money in his pocket.

WIT AND WISDOM.

folly"
Those with whom it is easy to
agree are not always the most to be re.
spected.
We're all men to see, think and act
alike, all of humanity would be sitting
in idleness, sucking their thumbs.
We complain that our life is short
and yet we throw away much of it, and
are weary of many fits parts.-Jeremy
Taylor.
-Inquisitive people are the tunnels
Of conve, sation; they do not take in any
thing for their own use, but merely pass
it to another.
ALL the good things Of this world
are no further good than as they are Of
use; and whatever we may heap up to
give to others, we enjoy only as much
as we can use, and no more.-Defoe.
If only one wished to be happy,
this could be readily accomplished; but
we wish to be happier than other peo-

for we believe others to be happier
than they are.
